I found a few sellers having those on eBay for $40 or so, not cheap for a few bolts

Are they m8 x 25 like the 600? If so why not use stainless button heads, not expensive and no special shoulder on the stock ones (well not on the 600)

I have not removed them, my torque wrench is broken, so I would rather not take them out until I know I can put them back with the proper torque.They appear to be common to a multitude of bikes though: FZ1, FZ6, R1, R6, FJR and Bolt and many others.
I've only ever used a torque wrench when rebuilding an engine, and even then have always knocked a few pounds off the recomended settings after a rather costly accident when using the manufacturer's recomended settings As for everything else I check the bolts after a couple of days just to make sure nothings vibrating undone (safer than relying on torque settings only to find I missed one during re assembly)
The worst part is that this looked like a great week end for riding, not sure how many more we are going to have this year.
